The college basketball season is just a few weeks old, but Trevor Jasinsky is already making an impact.
The senior from Camas scored 30 points in Western Washington’s 90-80 loss to Azusa Pacific on Saturday. The 6-foot-8 forward also scored 24 points against both Cal Poly Pomona and Concordia Irvine.
For that, Jasinsky was named Great Northwest Athletic Conference Player of the Week. It’s the second time he has earned that award, the other happening in November 2018.
Jasinsky ranks second in scoring among GNAC players at 21.6 points per game. He is 15 for 36 (41.7 percent) from 3-point range.
Jasinsky, a unanimous all-conference selection last season, is one of just 26 players in Western Washington history to have scored at least 1,000 points.
Other players from Clark County are off to fast starts.
Alex Schumacher, a freshman from Skyview, scored 22 points in St. Martin’s 99-76 win over Capilano on Tuesday. It’s the second time in four games Schumacher has scored 22 points for the Saints (1-3).
Schumacher, a 6-foot-3 guard, has started the past three games.
Beyonce Bea, a freshman from Washougal, scored 27 points in Idaho’s 90-84 win over Seattle University on Wednesday. She also grabbed 12 rebounds for her first collegiate double-double.
Bea, a 6-foot-1 guard/post, has started all four games for the Vandals (3-1). She is averaging 13.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.
Courtney Clemmer, a sophomore from Camas, scored a career high 26 points in Oregon Tech’s 63-57 loss to UC Merced on Nov. 15. The 6-foot-2 post is averaging 8.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game for the Owls (2-4).
Volleyball
Zoe McBride, a sophomore from Prairie, was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference co-Player of the Year, becoming the first Morgan State volleyball player to earn that honor. McBride is 10th in the nation in kills (507) and kills per set (4.88). She ranks second on the team in digs (301), service aces (36) and blocks (43).
Morgan State finished its regular season 16-12. The Bears open play in the MEAC Tournament on Friday against Bethune Cookman.
